Croydon Hospital Food "Appalling"

2012-01-24T09:24:00.000-08:00

Mayday Hospital trust's spending on meals revealed | This is Croydon

Croydon University Hospital formerly Mayday or 'May-die'

Croydon University Hospital, formerly Mayday Hospital known locally by residents as "may - die" (hence the name change) has been slated by a London nutritionist for serving 'apalling food'.

Croydon University Hospital is one of only a handful of hospitals in the UK with it's own in house Burger King in pride of place in reception. Yvonne Bishop-Weston suggests this apparent sanction and condoning of fast food rich in saturated fat, nutrient and fibre stripped carbohydrates, and few if any opportunities to achieve your NHS recommended five a day portions of fruit and vegetables is mindblowingly counterproductive.

The Croydon advertiser reports

PATIENTS had a meagre £1.73 spent, on average, on every meal they were given while recovering in Croydon University Hospital last year – the lowest spending per head of hospitals used by Croydon residents.
Figures released last week show the hospital's trust forked out an average of £5.18 a day for three meals and drink for each patient during 2010/11.

Other nearby hospitals spend double amount that on their patient meals. Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, has responded by increasing spending this year to £5.96 a day – an average of £1.99 per meal.
Yvonne said "How can people get well unless they have proper nutrition?
Croydon North MP Malcolm Wicks agreed, adding: "The constraints on hospital budgets across the country mean it's very difficult for them but hospitals can't skimp on food.
"At face value the amount spent [at Croydon University Hospital] seems to be a pitifully small amount of money and I think they need to address that further."

Gendered eating: men, women and food

Gendered eating: The truth about men, women and food - Editor's Pick - Life & Style - NZ Herald News

Yvonne talks about the differences in the way men and women approach food in the New Zealand Herald

In 1982, Bruce Feirstein published the bestselling "guidebook to all that is truly masculine", Real Men Don't Eat Quiche.

Eva Wiseman and Yvonne discuss gender, food and differences amongst the sexes

Bishop-Weston sees gender differences less in how people eat, more in how they think about their diets.

"Women have more emotional attachments to food - due to media pressure they attach guilt to carbs and saturated fats, and often feel a responsibility to eat healthily in a way that men don't," she says.

"Interestingly, though, I see a trend towards 'effort' that spans and unites the sexes. People are becoming more receptive to things that take longer. People are looking for an identity with their food. People are buying breadmakers. As everybody's lives are getting more stressful we feel worse, and we need more nutrients. So both men and women are getting scared into eating well."

David Bell, author of Consuming Geographies: We Are Where We Eat, and senior lecturer in critical human geography at the University of Leeds agrees differences are cultural and nurtured, not genetic

25% UK toddlers lacking Vitamin D

2012-01-24T02:26:00.000-08:00

A quarter of UK toddlers are lacking Vitamin D - Health News - Health & Families - The Independent

I think you'll find we told you so, many times, but just in case we'll tell you again.

Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins, especially for your immune system and for building and maintaining bone health.

Your body makes vitamin D from sunshine - If there ain't no sunshine, then she's gone, there ain't no vitamin D when she goes away.

If you spend your time playing nintendo or computer games instead of running about outside, riding in a car instead of on a bike, taking the tube / bus instead of walking through the park, thinking you look cool always wearing dark glasses or if you have dark skin to genetically protect you from a hot equatorial sun and you live in northern Europe or America then you are going to need a vitamin D supplement. A vitamin D defieciency leaves you with a greater risk of a number of different diseases not just bone problems and rickets.

New Year Feng Diet Launched in Evening Standard

Feng Diet - New Year Sushi Health by Feng Sushi and London Nutritionist

London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston has helped Feng Sushi put together a menu from the Feng Sushi Selection to create a weight management diet that will put a bit of Zing and Zang into your body.

The Feng Diet

The Feng Diet includes the quality sustainably sourced foods you would expect from Feng Sushi but also have been put together by Yvonne to help you gain the maximum health benefits. The aim of the plan is to help you cleanse your body with wholegrain carbs such as brown rice, buckwheat noodles, beans and of course plenty of vegetables. The plan is also carefully arranged to help keep your blood sugar levels balanced by having 3 meals and 2 snacks a day and only wholegrain carbs which are carefully combined with lean proteins. Eating this way helps to prevent blood sugar highs and the inevitable slumps which lead to symptoms such as headaches, low mood, sugar or caffeine cravings and weight gain. Wholegrain carbs are an important part of our diet as they contain vitamins, minerals and fibre but too many carbs are likely to be stored as body fat so we have balanced them with lean proteins to help you release them slowly for day-long energy and to help you reach and maintain your ideal weight. A daily portion of seaweed provides an additional boost as the iodine in seaweed can help boost a sluggish thyroid and metabolic rate. The Feng Diet is also dairy and wheat-free to help your body have a break from these often over-eaten foods.

The Feng Diet is launched in the Evening Standard Today

‘Banish any less-than-healthy leftovers to the freezer and, instead, fill your plate half-full of green veg, devote a quarter to good-quality protein and a quarter to wholegrain starch.

Nutritionist Questions Super Milk Factory

2010-10-12T05:43:00.000-07:00

Nocton unveils changes to planning application | News | Farmers Guardian:

NOCTON Dairies has insisted its plans for an 8,100-cow dairy unit in Lincolnshire are still on track, despite the decision by a local farming company to back out of the project and opposition from locals.

New Forest and London Nutritionist says - "Apart from the many environmental, economical, and animal welfare arguments against factory farmed milk I have serious concerns about the health implications of cow's milk produced in this way. Cows milk is touted as a source of vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Iron , calcium, essential fats but like humans they are what they eat and do - I struggle to understand if you keep a cow in a crate, out of sun that allows them to make vitamin D on an unatural omega 6 rich diet, just how a cow is going to have all those nutrients in it's system to pass on in it's milk."

"Cows already produce absurdly unnatural amounts of milk these days, I find it hard to believe the nutrient content can possibly hope to reflect the McCance and Widdowson's data that all nutritionists work to."

Scots Throw Health Away

2010-10-07T04:27:00.000-07:00

Scots Throw Away Their Health in the Frozen North:

Yvonne reminds us of the advantages of healthy nutritious frozen food to avoid waste as Scots admit to throwing away almost £500 worth of food every year.

Clinical Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says using a freezer more is one way to save waste, just buying fresh fruit and vegetables is not enough to optimise health - they have to be eaten. Because of fear of waste many people decide then not to buy the produce in the first place - good wholemeal bread deteriorates much quicker than nutrition depleted white bread but wholemeal bread freezes well and can be toasted from frozen.

The British Frozen Food Federation say "Frozen vegetables have been proven to often contain more Vitamin C (Vitamin C is lost when 'fresh' vegetables sit around on shop shelves and in your fridge) 'Fresh' spinach loses 77% of its Vitamin C after just two days! And, bear in mind that you would be very lucky to be buying spinach from a shop only two days from picking. Fresh vegetables are often a week old by the time they reach our shops. "

Cook Vegetarian!

2010-10-04T06:19:00.000-07:00

Cook Vegetarian!

London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston is in the October issue of Cook Vegetarian talking about vegetarian diets and bone health and what to watch for with osteoporosis.

The nutritionist says exercise, healthy digestive and hormonal systems are key.

"By the time many people start worrying about their bone health it's often a little to late to avoid osteoporosis completely but it's never to late to reduce the risks of it getting much worse.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about the way the body repairs and maintains your bones, for many people cow's milk could actually make things worse as long term too much calcium has been shown to be as detrimental as too little calcium.

As usual it's all about balance and synergy, things that unfortunately the average modern diet is sadly lacking in.

Vegan women who have very low levels of dietary calcium obviously inevitable display signs of deteriorating bone health but The EPIC Oxford study and other research has proven that even vegans (who consume no dairy products) can enjoy excellent bone health on fairly moderate intakes of dietary calcium and may escape the plague of osteoporosis afflicting the western world.

Metabolism: What is it and how can you boost yours? | Metro.co.uk: Harley Street London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston discusses ways to boost metabolism in The Metro, London

‘Your metabolism is the speed at which your body cells burn calories and use energy,’ explains Yvonne Bishop-Weston, Harley Street nutritionist at Optimum Nutritionists. ‘The faster your cells work, the faster you burn calories; the slower they work, the longer it takes.’

Bishop-Weston says one common symptom of stress-related metabolic slowdown is putting on weight despite eating and exercising the same amount as you always have done – or you may find your weight plateaus and you simply can’t shift any pounds. Other telltale signs include bloating, dry skin, loss of stamina, emotional lows, fatigue and lacklustre hair. ‘But there are small changes you can make to your diet and exercise routine that can give a gentle boost to your thyroid and your metabolic rate,’ she says.

Observer Food Monthly | Life and style | guardian.co.uk: Yvonne was interviewed by The Observer Food Monthly last week. As it's the school summer holidays and Yvonne was down in Beaulieu she had to conduct the interview actually in the forest, away from the house and the inevitable cacophony and chaos caused by grandparents and children shouting at each other. There's always a race to get to the phone before Grandpa answers it and shouts 'who are you?' (He's a trifle deaf) 'No - never heard of you!' and they hang up thinking it's a wrong number.

Luckily many journalists work from home these days and are also similarly precariously trapped in the same blighted 'sandwich generation' juggling caring for both parents and children.

The lure of overseas speaking engagements gets ever more attractive escape route via the legitimate excuse of 'work'. Bulgaria and a conference on antioxidants looms seductively.

"Allowing junk foods and ditching new nutritional guidelines is a much more worrying backward step by the Government than the furore over free milk.

Which? confused about Omega 3

2010-05-31T13:08:00.000-07:00

Omega 3 claims not clear - in Which?

You can be forgiven for getting confused about ALA / EPA and DHA - even Which? get confused. They mixed up ALA and EPA in a recent news item. Even though they seem a bit non committal about vegetarian sources of DHA and EPA essential fats at least they give one of them ( V Pure algae) a plug. Here's our list of sustainable plant based alternatives to omega 3 fish oil.

V-Pure Algae plant based EPA / DHA omega 3 fish alternative
This DHA rich Algal oil also has some EPA in it. The Algae is grown in steel tanks in a controlled environment and then the essential fats are coaxed out using a unique high tech natural process to allow the production of a concentrated omega 3 DHA rich oil

Echium Oil an omega 3 rich plant based fish oil alternative that converts well to EPA
Echium is a most amazing plant that has naturally ocurring longer chain omega 3 and omega 6 fats. The combination of these two longer chain essential fats means that in studies Echium oil converts to EPA 5 times more efficiently than flax oil.

Omega 7 - Sea Buckthorn Oil
Foods for Life Nutritionist Gareth Zeal has revealed that research suggests that omega 7 - particularly Seabuckthorn oil, which is rich in omega 7, like longer chain omega 6 helps with the conversion pathway and makes it easier for the body to convert shorter chain essential fat omega oils into longer chain essential fats such as EPA and DHA.

A Doctor will tell you that plants have cells and ALL cell membranes contain cholesterol.

There is an article that suggests different textbooks are wrong when they state that plants do not contain cholesterol (http://bip.cnrs-mrs.fr/bip10/choles.htm) The author bases his argument on:
E. J. Behrman and V. Gopalan (2005) Cholesterol and plants J. Chem. Educ. in press. Behrman and Gopalan (2005)

They suggest the following as an accurate account of the real sterol content of plants: More than 250 steroids have been described in plants. Of these, perhaps sitosterol, which differs from cholesterol by an ethyl substituent at position 24, is the most common. But plants also contain cholesterol both free and esterified. Cholesterol occurs as a component of plant membranes and as part of the surface lipids of leaves where it is sometimes the major sterol. The quantity of cholesterol is generally small when expressed a percent of total lipid. While cholesterol averages perhaps 50 mg/kg total lipid in plants, it can be as high as 5 g/kg (or more) in animals.

So there is cholesterol in plants but in very small amounts. Also experts now believe that the cholesterol your body makes (an essential function) and the balance between HDL andLDL cholesterol levels in the body are more important factors than dietary cholesterol (even from animals)

The key point is that plant foods can help your body deal with imbalance and causes of high cholesterol production that are linked with chronic disease. Treat the cause not the symptom.

V-Healthy::The Vegetarian Society

Harley Street Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston applies the science of optimum nutrition to a plant based diet at the request of the UK Vegetarian Society at the risk of vegetarians becoming as smug on health issues as they already are on environmental issues.

Vegetarians and Vegans have long since apparently assumed that they have the healthiest possible diet. In fact many people embark on a vegetarian diet assuming it's healthier.

Generally that's true but the basic principles of health still have to be followed - pizza, pasta and chip butties are all vegetarian foods but there are many nutrients missing from the average examples of those foods.

There are just one or two important nutrients that you don't get "by accident" the way it's easy to do in a meat based diet so it's even more important for vegetarians to eat a varied diet to achieve an optimal nutrition balance. Ironically meat eaters are often low in the nutrients (such as iron and vitamin B12) that feature in the myths about inadequate vegetarian diets.

Probiotics For Optimum Nutrition

2009-11-19T06:08:00.000-08:00

Healthy Eating & Nutrition News: Mainstream Medicine Catches on to Nutritionists Tools Bottom Health - "Getting to the bottom of digestive health involves more than just a pot of probiotic yoghurt" Says UK Nutritionist.

Leading London Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston says "It's great to see mainstream medicine catching on to something nutritionists have been banging on about for many years. A recent report on probiotics by the British Nutrition Foundation should alert mainstream health professionals in the NHS about a more common sense approach to digestive health."

"They even seem to have grasped the concept that probiotics are not a one size fits all silver bullet solution too. As nutritionists we use therapeutic strength probiotics in a very targetted way. We test the gut to see exactly whats going on in there , looking not just for infections and parasites but also measuring levels of good and bad bacteria."

"It doesn't stop there however. Even once the inmmediate problem has been addressed with therapeutic strength probiotics , for long term health you have to create an environment that will sustain a flourishing culture of good bacteria and discourage bad bacteria from repopulating the gut. "

"Many of the problems we deal with such as stress, lack of energy, IBS and other digestive disorders, skin problems, weight gain and even hormonal and fertility issues often lead back to an unhealthy digestive system and fundamental dysfunction that led to reduced effectiveness and nutritient absorbtion"
